* "pipe-server" (win32 only): It makes bochs a named pipe server so other
application can communicate with it using pipes API. Useful e.g. for remote
kernel debugging.
* "pipe-client" (win32 only)
* "socket-server": for the use with gdb
Make save/restore default feature, the configure option for save/restore removed from configure script and save/restore made available forever. All code now assume it is exists. Bochs save/restore tree previosly called "save_restore" renamed to "bochs" tree and it will be havily used everywhere, starting from save/restore and ending by various bochs debugger functions. I am going to rework debugger code to get rid of debug CPU access functions and use this "bochs" param tree instead
- fixed gameport log type
- wx: store mouse capture mode in the gui code (only access the mouse parameter
when the capture mode changes)
- wx: don't initialize wxScreen if already done and clear screen on exit
(TODO: find a way to call plugin_fini() for non-core devices if plugins are
disabled)
- set the device pointers back to stubs after unloading plugins
- added debug message "Exit" in all device plugin destructors
- bx_init_options(): local variables cleanup
- hide floppy devtype parameter (floppy media type change support not yet complete)
- wx: menu order changed
- keyboard.cc: removed obsolete FIXME
- proposed parameter tree updated
- added emulation of the PS/2 mouse port without a mouse connected (some OS's
still detect a mouse)
- fixes for the mouse type 'serial_wheel' (the wheel still doesn't work in Win98)
#1079240 by Ben Lunt. There are still some problems:
- PS/2 mouse is always present (some code to emulate a disconnected mouse needed)
- PS/2 wheel mouse doesn't work properly
- serial wheel mouse detected as a standard mouse and doesn't work at all
data written to the port and where to get the data read from it. Available
modes are 'null' (no input/output), 'file' (output to a file specified as
the 'dev' parameter), 'term' (serial terminal) and 'raw' (use the real serial
port - under construction for win32).
- descriptions for serial and parallel options in bochsrc sample updated
bochs.h already not include iodev.h which reduces compilation dependences for almost all cpu and fpu files, now cpu files will not be recompiled if iodev includes was changed
- change the raw serial settings when entering or leaving loopback mode
- write handler: new bit values now stored in local variables
- serial_raw: fixed a warning
- the line status register only causes an interrupt if an error occurs
- missing initial baurate value added (using 115200)
- baudrate divisor value checks fixed
- new function lower_interrupt() lowers the irq line if no interrupts are pending
- IER write code: missing conditions for lower_interrupt() added
- symbol BX_SERIAL_CONFDEV removed (now using BX_N_SERIAL_PORTS)
on the IIR (only depends on the IER).
- IER write code rewritten. The "THR empty" interrupt will be generated immediately
after enabling this interrupt reason.
